PATENT FFEQE.

WILLIAM A. BUSIEK, OF BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS.

RANG-E.

Application led January 31, 1924. Serial No. 689,619.

To all whom it may conce/ra Be it known that VILLIAM A. BUsIEK, acitizen of the United States of America, re-

siding at Belleville, in the county of St.

Clair and State of Illinois, has invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Ranges, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to make a gas range which will when inoperation produce an equality in temperature in all portions of theoven. A further object is to provide a range with adequate circulationand one that utilizes a double burner. A further object is to make arange that is composed of standard parts, that can be easily assembledand lends itself readily to multiple production. A still further objectis to product a range which is positive in circulation.

IV ith these and other objects in view, my invention has relation tocertain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claim andillustrated in the drawings in whichd Fig. 1 is a transverse sectionalelevation,

Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of my heat circulating plate.

Numeral 4 designates a conventional range having the side walls 5, thebase 6, the front 7 and the rear 8. Numerals 9 designate conventionallegs. Numeral 10 desig nates the oven having the floor 11 and the sides12. The sides 12 and the floor 11 are secured together at right anglesin the conventional manner and are secured to the front 7 and the back 8of the range in conventional manner. The sides 12 terminate as bestshown in Fig. 1. Numerals 13 designate the gas burners positioned asbest shown in Fig. 1. Numeral 14 designates the heat circulating platewhich has its rear end bent upward at an angle forming the flange 15which is secured to the rear wall 8 of the range in conventional manner.The front of the heat circulating plate 14 is bent downwardly to formthe flange 15. Portions of the sides are bent upwardly to form theflanges 16 and 17. The remaining portions are bent downward to forni theflanges 18 and 19. Numeral 2O designates an L shaped member secured tothe heat circulating plate 14 as best shown in Fig. 3. The verticalportion of the L is the same height as the flanges 15, 18 and 19. Bymeans of the flanges 15, 18 and 19 the heat circulating plate 14 isplaced in the range being supported by the base 6. By means of theflange 15 it is secured to the rear or back 8 of the range. Numerals 21designate vent holes .in the flange 15. rllhe heat circulating plate 14is of such size that when positioned as indicated the burners 13 will bepositioned laterally relative it and so that perforations 22 in the rearwall 8 will be below the flange 15 and above the bottom 6 and so the l..

shaped member 2O will be approximately in the center of the heatcirculating plate 14 as well as of the range bottom 6. Numeral 24designates the smoke stack which is in liuid communication with theinterior of the range and oven by means of the opening 25. Numeral 26designates a shelf which is secured to the front 7 and the rear 8 inconventional manner in the position shown in Fig. 1 and having formedintegral therewith the depending ends 27 which hang in the flue betweenthe walls 5 and the sides 12 as best shown in Fig. 1. The circulation ofthe products of combustion is shown by the arrows. The air entersthrough the perforations 22 in the rear wall 8, passes under the heatcirculating plate one-half on each side of the L shaped element 2Othrough the perforations 21, then laterally over the burners 13 andupwardly until the depending ends 27 are reached when a division occurs,some of the products of combustion proceeding between the depending ends27 and the sides 12 into the oven and then out to the smoke stack 24through the opening 25 and the remainder pass between the depending ends27 and the walls 5 up over the shelf 26 and then downwardly through thefront portion of the shelf 26 into the oven, then passing through theopening into the smoke stack 24. It is found that by this circulationthat every portion of the oven above and below the shelf 26 is heated tothe same degree of temperature.

What I claim and mean to secure by Let.- ters Patent is- A rangecomprising an oven secured therein, a heat circulating plate having alongitudinally extending rib approximately central of the lower sclethereof, said plate posltlonecl beneath smd oven, a source of heatp'oslfnoned adjacent sa'cl heat circulating plate, said'heetoroulaftngplute secured "f to the rear of sald range, the rear of -sfuclrange being perforated so that fluid oom,- Inuneation s establishedbetween the eX- teror of said range and the Spaces fol'lnefl by the Hoorof said range and said bifurcatedjrheat emulaingfplatie. 10

En testimony whereof I? all-x my signe- WILLIAM A. BUSIEK.
